COMMENTS FROM OUR CREWED YACHT CHARTERERS

Joseph D. chartering 'Uhuru II' August 14
"Dear Ed: I wanted to confirm my telephone call with you today regarding our charter on 'Uhuru II'. It was simply fabulous. The boat was superb, in beautiful condition, and an absolute delight to sail. Mark and Celia were wonderful and gracious hosts. Celia is a great cook, and her meals were a constant wonder. Mark had bounds of energy, took us on daily dives, spent time each day as my local fishing guide, and still had time for boarding with my son, and swimming with the dolphins with Loretta and my daughter...We could not recommend Mark, Celia and 'Uhuru II' more highly. Thank you for your help in finding them."

Guy A. chartering 'Imagine' August 8
"Mel is great and worked very hard to accommodate every ones needs, no matter how demanding...Joan was great and exceeded my every expectation. I cannot believe how hard she worked and how she produced those great meals from that tiny kitchen"...on Ed Hamilton & Co...."You guys were great...I was very pleased with how smoothly everything went. I would without reservation recommend you..to anyone I know. It was great!"

Jim L. chartering 'Marolanga' August 7
"Once again I must compliment on your matching skills. 'Marolanga' and specifically Gus and Marcella are not only very professional, but two of the nicest people anyone would want to meet. Gus is a skilled sailor...Marcella is a great cook. She knows her way around a galley better than anyone I've seen yet...Ed, this is two for two charters back to back. 'Marolanga' was a perfect match for what I was looking for. This is why I will continue to come back to you. Many Thanks"

Laura S. chartering 'Mauna Loa' July 31
"...we did everything we wanted and more. Meals were wonderful. The quality and presentation were much more than expected. We could tell that the chef took much pride in his work...Your firms service was outstanding and we have recommended you to others."

Sara J. chartering 'Last Fancy' July 8
"Thank you for a great holiday.. I especially loved everything more because of your ability to show us all you have learned and allowed us to remain safe and secure. I never thought this holiday would ever be so exciting and relaxing. These are times I will look back on remembering Pamela and Munro, Last Fancy, fantastic food, new adventures and beautiful sites. Thank you for showing the nine of us your BVI spots and sites!

"Dennis C. chartering 'La Dolce Vita' June 30
"I enjoyed learning how to handle this size boat from Capt. Hutterer. He is patient, knowledgeable, and I had plenty of time "at the wheel"...The food was incredible-I have never eaten better in my life...Better than what we expected...We highly recommend the "La Dolce Vita" experience..."

Bill L. chartering 'Gift Horse' June 9
"Captain Tim was great. We were like one big family by the end of the charter. Our kids taught him their language and he taught them his. Clair was wonderful...presentation-excellent...quality-superb...quantity-we all gained 5-10 pounds...no one went hungry...I can't say enough about the people at Ed Hamilton & Co. They are wonderful-Helpful in every aspect of our trip."

Dennis D. chartering "Southern Comfort" June 9
"Capt. Mike was great!...(we)Didn't know anything about sailing but Mike taught us a lot in one week. We think we could get S.C. underway!...Sandy and Susan were wonderful chefs. We ate on shore 3 nights-but couldn't wait to get back. The meals on board were better...Thanks Ed for a great trip."

Marion H. chartering 'Serendipity' June 5
"We had the most wonderful time aboard 'Serendipity'...The food deserves its own paragraph. From the home made bread to the shrimp caesar salad, every meal was a memory in itself. Chef Jo did a great job! Our captain Trish was always there to serve and answer our questions. Her sailing experience and knowledge of the natural world added much to our weeks adventure in the BVI...It was truly a remarkable time that we will always cherish"

Robert N. chartering 'Last Fancy' May 29
"I want to thank all of you. You did a great job-very professional-and a great help to our family who had never been sailing. The trip was great and we have already recommended you to our friends. Engaging but not intrusive, Munro and Pamela hit the perfect medium...The meals were delicious, beautifully presented, with different table settings, and always just hit the spot."

Ginny F. chartering 'Breanker' May 24
"The boat was in perfect order....We all felt we could not have had a better captain...Peter... gave a lot of instruction to my husband. He let him sail the boat whenever possible. The meals were excellent! Everything about them could not have been better...we had the best vacation ever! We are already planning for it next year. Thank you for all your help."

Missy C chartering 'Gannet' May 23
"Ian was great. It was especially nice of him to share his friends on Anegada with us. His guidance to our various anchorages was excellent...Liz was great...very nice breakfasts and lunches...more than we needed...did a beautiful job." non sail
